Formål

 

In the evaluation of the student's performance, special emphasis is placed on the extent to which the

student:

  • masters the basic concepts and theories of cognitive semiotics;
  • is familiar with the basic concepts of meaning creation (such as schemas, frame, metaphorical

mappings, blending);

  • is familiar with the relationship between bodily/perceptual experience and linguistic meaning

structures;

  • is able to analyse actual meaning phenomena whether perceptive or linguistic;

• is able to structure own material logically and express himself/herself clearly.

Indhold

 

The course on semiotics and cognition has a double scope: on the one hand, it introduces to basic concepts in cognitive semiotics: metaphor, blending, frame, schema, conceptual structure and generally the relation between perception, conceptualization and linguistic expression. Key authors are, among others, George Lakoff, Mark Johnson, Len Talmy, Jean Petitot, Gilles Fauconnier and Mark Turner. On the other hand, it aims to unfold the theoretical affinity between this line of thought, such as it is developed within nowadays cognitive theory of meaning and previous semiotic and phenomenological theories on the relation between perception, experience, language and thought (Peirce, Husserl, Ingarden, Merleau-Ponty).
